There are so many out there, a few that I came across include:
- Wallabag ( GitHub, Website): Older, long history, somewhat clunky now?
- LinkWarden (Website): Focus on multi user and teams?
- Raindrop.io (Website)
- Omnivore (Website)
- Hoarder (GitHub)
- Shiori (Article)
- Readeck (Website)
Having a giant comparison table for this might be nice

I migrated all my Firefox bookmarks to a self-hosted Linkding instance. https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/ Lightweight and once you get a tagging methodology in place its super useful.
Hey :) would you kindly share your tagging methodology? It’s the second time I nuke my linkding docker istance, because everytime it gets so messy that I lose sight of my bookmarks ://
Thank you 👐
Linkwarden. Because it has a good design, tags, is selfhostable, has some nice integrations (browser-plugin, PWA) and saves backups of the bookmark in PDF.
Linkwarden maintainer here, thanks for the shoutout and stay tuned for exciting updates as we have lots of new features lined up for the next release :)
Does Floccus count? It syncs via caldev into the native bookmarks.
Linkding which is like pinboard but self hosted. Just because it’s simple. I could do with just using browser sync but hey, I’ve got a server running so I might as well host it
Linkding is great ! I love it ! With the new local copy as html file thats a banger !!
Except one thing I hate about it… It can get really messy quickly If you don’t overthink your tags… This can get time consuming in the long run !
I really like Readeck, it is very polished and the fact that it copies links content is very useful when saving Medium blog posts (and generally to make sure that I don’t lose the content if the linked page is ever removed)
Selfhosted RSS reader Miniflux + Wallabag + KOReader client in KPW4 = 👍
Miniflux to get all my feeds which I can analyze manually throughout the day and send selected snippets to Wallabag for later reading either during lunch or at night using KOReader client in KPW4.
That’s a nice workflow :) except for KOReader, I do the same combo Miniflux + wallabage + linkding.
Wallabag + miniflux for articles to read and Linkding for important stuff (mostly github stuff).
What’s cool about that workflow it can be automatically send through each other with their API.
I also installed Newsboat as an alternative to the web interface https://newsboat.org/releases/2.35/docs/newsboat.html#_miniflux
What is KPW4?

I use linkding for bookmarks and readeck for read-it-later
I’ve been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don’t really need the extra features.
I’ve used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.
The features I use the most are:
- Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
- Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
- Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
- The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I’m visiting my bookmarks
- The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages
I haven’t had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.
Overall I’ve had such a pleasant experience that I’ve never looked at any other option.
